RE: new radio
i'd pass on that radio. it's pretty much the same thing as what your rc10gt came with. save up and get a better radio or use that 70 bucks and get some hopups for your rc10gt.

RE: new radio
30 bucks more and you can get this, its about 1000 times better man. Don't sell yourself short, mod right and you only have to do it once. If you cheap out, you end up spending more when you want to upgrade again later.

RE: new radio
If you only need two channels, this one works for me:

RE: new radio
im sort of leaning on the Futaba 2PL since its around my price range, but the mx-3 is really popular and have heard good things about the servos that come with it ad the price isn't bad at all but i will probably go with the 2PL are the servos that come with it any good or would i have to upgrade if i do i just might as well get the mx-3

RE: new radio
that 2pl seems decent enough. a lot better then the rtr radios. the servo that comes with any of those radios pretty much suck. they're good enough for your throttle servo tho. so either get a radio package with 1 servo or none and buy a metal gear servo for your steering. the jr radios come with good servos...they come with a high torque metal gear servo. a z590 i think. real good enough for your steering.
